Coming in the end, Hardik Pandya scored unbeaten 29 runs on 14 balls.

Now Delhi had a target of 213 runs. This was certainly difficult, but certainly not impossible. But the Delhi team entered the field thinking something else. You may believe it or not, but the truth is that the entire team could score only 66 runs and was out in 13.4 overs. Only three batsmen of the team were able to cross double figures. Opener Karun Nair scored the highest score of 21 runs, while Corey Anderson and Pat Cummins played innings of 10 runs each.

Harbhajan Singh and Karn Sharma broke the back of the opposition team by taking three wickets each. In this way, Mumbai Indians won by 146 runs and Delhi Daredevils suffered an equally big defeat. This is the biggest defeat of any team in terms of runs in the 16-year history of IPL. In IPL, teams enter the field to create new records, but this is a record which no team would like to break. But it is certain that someday this record will also be broken, but we will have to wait for when.
